Anniversary date of trauma, loss of my son

@georgette12

I am so sorry you have come up on an anniversary date that is so difficult for you. Do you have any plans today that will help you through the day? Can you talk with family or friends?

Keep in touch, we would like to support you during this time of remembrance of your son, his life and what he meant to you.

I know today must be very painful. Hoping the sweet memories of him will be a great comfort. If only those who do take their lives could know the pain & suffering of those they leave behind, perhaps they'd change their minds. Definitely praying for you!

Thank you all for your support. My computer is acting up so I could not respond yesterday. Blessings.

So very very sorry for your loss

If it would be helpful, feel free to share a pleasant memory of your son.

@georgette12 -- how would you say the day of the anniversary of your son's birthday went, overall?

The anniversary date was very bad. But because of my husband's ill health and loss of job I was unable to cope. I saw my Dr today and he prescribed zyprexa. I feel really not good!

Teresa. .. Re sharing a pleasant memory of my son. We were estranged for a number of years due to his father and stepmother's influence. My son had a mental illness. When his father died 2 years before his suicide, I tried to help him with his loss. His mental illness got worse. He told me he planned to kill himself. I was not able to stop him in time. I have tried to recall pleasant times and find that recalling those times makes me feel awful. I just live with the fact I could not save him. Thank you for asking.

Those anniversary dates have a way of sneaking up on me. I endeavor to remember the good times.

@georgette12 I get it about even recalling the good times. Still, I try to hold onto these even if the horrific memories oft accompany the happy ones.
